What have you got to lose?

Yeah, the price is a bit high but if you 're not satisfied you can get a full refund in the first month. Works with Netflix, HBO and Hulu. Great for at home but even better for those who are abroad...!

Did you know? We approve all user reviews. Companies can't pay to include or exclude any.

The best VPN app out there

Seriously, no other VPN has their Tor servers. These guys really practice what they preach: private servers, no up time, no logs. I love this service. Speeds are good too, and about customer support I don't have any bad word.

You da man, Jerome!

Was pretty upset when I had paid for a year subscription and Netflix wasn't working. Thankfully, Jerome was able to show me which servers worked and within a few mins of chatting I was able to stream again. Glad I choose this service over the others as I hear Netflix doesn't work with most.

Live chat is a really nice feature

Love how their live chat is always fast, responsive and super helpful. VPN works great, though speeds are sometimes a little slow. Bigger companies like Comcast and At&t could learn a thing or two from their support staff.

The perfect tool for traveling abroad

Downloaded the app when I first moved abroad. Happy to say we got very close my first few months in China because I would stay in practically every night watching Netflix. Works great in touch, and it's really nice privacy tool too.

News update squashed my concerns

I had the app installed on my Macbook and every now and then the connection would suddenly drop. However, I installed the newest app update I've had no problems. I even think my download speeds have increased. Great work with the update.

Nathan's got it right

One of the impressive things about ExpressVPN is they way they continually revise and improve all their apps and produce regular updates. I'm having great success for a second year running ExpressVPN on MacBook, iPhone and WRT routers.

Awesome interface

Really love this app' layout. Unlike other VPN's this one is super simple and easy to use, connecting to a server takes seconds, and if my connection goes down the app automatically freezes my internet traffic. Very good protection indeed.

Highly satisfied customer

I've had this service for a few months now and couldn't be happier. Love how one subscription covers multiple devices ( think you guys can add more??? ), and the vpn always offer really nice speeds, definitely the best vpn on the market.

Great speeds, great service, ok price

Priced a little higher than their competitors, this service works great with streaming sites like Netflix. They offer more than 100 vpn servers around the world, and their networks never keep logs. They're priced a bit higher than other services, but i haven't had any problems so far.

Netflix, baby!!!

Got this app after being disappointed with PIA's crappy service and I'm happy to report that ExpressVPN still works with Netflix. It's someone a bit tricky but all you gotta do is talk to their support team and they'll instantly point you in the right direction.

ExpressVPN doesn't keep logs

If you're looking for a secure, private VPN server, this one is for you. They use 256 AES encryption and offer server locations in countries around the world. The app itself works great. It's nice little tool to have when you're traveling or browsing free wifi.

Fastest than the rest of them

Speed is critical for me, so I don't really mind the 14 eyes country and all the information given here. I just want to get fast speed and access Netflix US when I travel (and do I travel). All I can say is that in this aspect, ExpressVPN (after testing a few myself and reading many reviews here) are the #1. They didn't disappoint me even once.

The price doesn't lie

I played with a few products, spent quite a lot of my time . Not surprisingly I see a clear correlation between price and quality . When I talk about quality I mean how fast are the servers and is the vpn able to unlock hulu and Netflix us. For me it was clear Express is the best product. Most VPNs have a moneyback guarantee so I suggest you try and see for yourself

Five star for the simplicity

Love how the apps are easy to use. The different location options make it easier to choose the best server, and the speed test, while slow, comes in handy. Not really noticed a difference in speeds when I'm connected to a vpn server.

Express VPN is amazing

I'm loving my express VPN service. I initially had some setup issues, however these were simply user error, and was helped by Gyan and Regan on the live chat and whilst I was getting very frustrated they were some calm and extremely professional - I certainly would not hesitate to recommend this service to anyone - it is truly amazing.

So far, so good....

After a frustrating week of no connection, disconnection , slow customer service,I decided to try Express VPN...so pleased I did. I needed a little help with the initial setup but then it all worked perfectly. Only 4 days in, but no problems so far! I guess you get what you pay for!

Love it

I've been using ExpressVPN for about four months and can say that it lives up to all of its promises: it is fast, reliable, and easy to set up. I especially like the fact that it has a "Kill Switch," and attempts to reconnect after losing a connection. I had used a different VPN for a year or so that wasn't as reliable and didn't have these features, which made me feel less safe while online. I've since recommended ExpressVPN to friends and they've also been happy with it.

Excellent 30-day refund period

Originally tried the free trial, and then upgraded to a paid subscription. I figured if I didn't like I was just ask for a refund. Happy to report 3 months in and I'm still loving this app, there is much more.

Switched from a free service to ExpressVPN a few weeks ago and the first thing I noticed was the overabundance of VPN servers. There are so many! The app works great--speeds are very stable. Very satisfied.

I've Tested Them All - ExpressVPN is the BEST

Prior to using ExpressVPN, I was using UnblockUS - their service ended up being extremely unreliable and I would often get tagged by my ISP for torrenting as a result.
I decided to spend a few hours downloading/trying every single top VPN - Nord was the absolute worst - it would disconnect whilst I am torrenting resulting in yet another email from my ISP about torrenting. In addition, their speeds are extremely slow. IPVanish came at second place - however the speed was about 50% slower than ExpressVPN.
I was so happy with the results of ExpressVPN, I bought a 1 year subscription - the speed, excellent customer service I received and quality Android/Windows app has made for an incredible experience.

Helps alleviate those privacy concerns

The internet isn't as anonymous as is used to be. Having a good VPN service today is crucial, and ExpressVPN is the best. Their servers use strong encryption settings and they never keep logs. Far the best VPN

Just maybe not the leader in the industry

I too purchased ExpressVPN and as stated, STARZ is blocked! I can officially confirm this and contacted ExpressVPN for confirmation. YES, they have confirmed it is geo-blocked. I’ve requested unblocking. ExpressVPN is truly the leader, hopefully, this will be a quick update.

Sounds complicated but is not

Good app worth my money

I find myself using unsecure networks all the time ( airports, coffee shops, so on ) and I used to get a bit uncomfortable but I feel better using this app because I don't feel like my privacy is at risk. Sometimes it can be unreliable ( it wont connect to a server, crashes...) but they tend to fix the issue really quick.

MUST HAVE IN ASIA

I didn't take people serious about how in certain parts of asia you can't fully access internet, and I thought I could do it with a generic vpn service. I was wrong. It's amazing how simple things like checking your gmail can become such a hassle! when I spoke to other expats at work they were quick to recommend me expressvpn and it's been a blessing.

Worth paying for it

If you're thinking about " why pay for an app I can get for free?", remember what they say " if you're not a consumer, you're the product". I'd rather pay for expressvpn and not be cashed in on, thanks!

Very intuitive. The best VPN!

Easy to use, good UX design, this latest upgrade looks crisp. I'd rather pay for a vpn then have ads popping up from every corner. ExpressVPN is a bit more expensive than other VPN but as I said it is better to pay for a good service than risk with free.

Poor Speeds Over all

The uk servers are horrendous clocks are a quarter of my available clock rate for even openvpn, With l2tp ipsec being almost unusable. But I do like the fact that they use their own dns servers so that's probably the only positive thing about the service if only more providers followed suite. Since then have moved over to purevpn & voila speeds have drastically improved I'm reaching 80 to 90% of since purchase but the application needs some work it has a habit of flapping.

Overrated vpn service

Really overrated and overpriced vpn service. The speed are really poor especially with US servers. The only thing customer service offers is to get refunded instead of trying to solve your problem. They should really pay more attention to speeds as rated very good and sometimes take a look to chats what customer guys are typing

Reuben

Not so perfect

So I've decided to try it because looking at the price it should be premium service, but I was a little bit disappointed, because download speed drops a lot and it's even worst than my previous one. Everything else except the server list in app are good. Customer care are also very friendly and helped configure my router.

Great app and great user service

I have been using ExpressVPN in several countries (I use it even at home). Being now in China for a couple of months, it worked well on my laptop and tablet (same account), and I can run Google apps with no problem. I just paid for a second account for another computer and an android phone. When the speed is low, you can start their test and find the best host. I contacted them a couple of time, and got a reply within 2 minutes every time. I believe that their standard is worth paying the price if you want personal privacy, and run smooth business as well from any place.

Real VPN!! Works as charme

I used to have Hola! and it would work at home, but not always. Until a friend of mine who works in IT told me to get away from free plug-ins like that, so I had to figure what to do. Came across Expressvpn, tried the trial, and have been using it for a while. Kinda of expensive, but it delivers.

Great Service & Speed, but...

For the initial month of service everything went great for me. There were occasional down times, but overall ok, definitely better than others. After the first month I though I'd up there service and purchase a supported router that would then cover all our devices while at home. I bought a Linksys WRT1900 ACS. The first thing I did was flash it with ExpressVPN's firmware. What I was never told was that the USB port on the router would become unusable. This was confirmed during a chat session with a customer service rep. His smug and in a hurry attitude was unusual from other chat sessions with their staff in that he was like our firmware is to only support our VPN service and that anything else is basically tough luck, "if you don't like it flash it back to the OEM firmware". More on this later. The second thing that ExpressVPN does not inform you of, with a flashed router, is that you'll lose the ability to access your paid subscription with Hulu. Hulu sees that you're using a VPN and will not let you connect. I do not know if this happens with other subscriptions, but this happened to me on my Roku with Hulu. I'm sure there's a way that I could turn off the VPN service, but to do that and then need it for other devices would be to much back and forth. In the end I decided to flash my router back to the Linksys firmware. I followed the instructions that ExpressVPN pointed me to and in the end bricked the router. As it was finishing up it needed to connect, yet couldn't because it was no longer setup. Kind of a catch 22. I again contacted them via chat and worked on it for about an hour and a half with a tech. We got nowhere. Fortunately the router's under warranty, so I'm getting it replaced and will not be flashing it with ExpressVPN's firmware. Again, other than the above problems their service is great as well as their speed. Of the 6-7 times I've had to contact them about how to set something up or just inquire I've only had one bad experience. I'll see how the next 12 months go as that will be the real test.

Works--what else you want?

I've had the app for a couple of months now, and I always recommend it to any friend who travel a lot like I do. But if you're only going for a short trip somewhere where your favorite website are not available (YouTube blocks certain music videos in Germany), I'd suggest trying the free trial first. Never Needed the customer service but I heard it's nice.

Best VPN I've Used

I was kinda skeptical because the price was a bit higher but the service is worth it. Tons of location options, fast servers and top notch customer support. I live in the US so instead of using it to unblock sites I just like having the added security. When I connect to the recommended server I rarely experience a dip in speeds.

I have been using expressvpn for a little over 2 years now. The service is great and their support team is the best. Their speeds are quite good, and if you care about privacy they have their own Tor servers and offer Bitcoin payments too.

It is easy to install, configure and use; changing destination servers is utterly straightforward and the service has been consistently reliable.

No 'cons' come to mind - I am well pleased.

fit for purpose

Became aware of expressVPN while assigned to China in 2012 for a 3 year term. Colleagues recommended this to allow access to facebook, google, and other blocked sites. I have been using it since and have nothing but good to say about it. Geo-blocking issues are resolved with openVPN, L2TP and mediastreamer (smartDNS) as well. Internet privacy and security are paramount in today's state of internet hacking, identity theft, etc and the extra security provided by a VPN is a must. Connections to servers in Asia, SE Asia, USA, Canada, are quick, fast and reliable for me.I highly recommend expressVPN.

Make sure you upgrade

I was using older app and kept running into issues: dropped connects, slow load times, etc. After I saw the upgrade notice I finally decided to go through the upgrade process and instantly saw a huge difference. Servers load faster and I haven't experienced and dropped connections since. Make sure you upgrade your app, folks. They're definitely listening their customers as such upgrade has been better and better.

Always in Top 3

ExpressVPN won my business after researching VPNs for about a week, beating NordVPN and PureVPN. I prefer Express' UI, nearby servers in US, P2P friendly, use on multiple devices including a highly rated/dependable Android app, 24/7 support, (allegedly) v fast servers, and a 30 day MBG, but it costs significantly more than Nord and Pure, especially with New Year's promotions. My native speed is 170M/12M on my Wifi AC desktop and drops to 105/12 using Express. That's a big drop but Nord dropped me to about 70/10. On my Galaxy Note4 it drops from 170/12 to 90/11. Obviously, I'd prefer these to be closer to my native download speed of 170, but those VPN speeds are good enough for typical uses. I'm still within my 30-day MBG window, but so far I don't anticipate bailing out. ExpressVPN has an outstanding reputation and I'm on my way to confirming that.

Unlimited server switches and no data caps = happy customer

ExpressVPN lets me download without having to worry about my ISP capping what I'm doing. That alone is worth for me. The app also lets me access websites I couldn't before and helps me protect my online information. Speeds are ok--not great, not bad, but the protocol options definitely help.

While the price is slightly higher I bit the bullet and decided to try them because their overall high rating and privacy settings. I was able to install the app in seconds and was able to go online and encrypt my connection in seconds. ExpressVPN prides itself on offering strong security and anonymous browsing, and from what I can tell that's exactly what this app does.

I used the 24 hour trial to watch Netflix and was satisfied enough to purchase a 1 month subscription.

They also offer a 30 day warrenty in case you're still not sure.

I used ExpressVPN a few years ago when I moved to China and wasn't impressed with the speed. I tried app recently and was blown away by how well it worked. These guys have come a long way. Definitely impressed.

Applications are fast and really easy to use

For me, the best thing is how simple and efficient their apps are. I'm able to connect to a server in seconds and have no problem changing my protocol settings (that should mean a lot coming from a tech newb like me). They have 3 different protocol options and I've gotten to the point where I know how/when to change when I'm browsing a specific server. Very happy with the service so far.

So many options, so little time

I've been running with ExpressVPN for a little over 2 months now. While they have somewhere around 150 server locations, I only use 1 or 2. I'll admit it's nice to have so many options though. It works for what I need it to.

Netflix works. 'Nuff said.

VPNs have some under scrutiny when it comes to accessing content. That's why I jumped the Cyberghost ship a few months ago. I decided to try ExpressVPN because I heard they were still working with Netflix. Pleased to announce not only can I watch Netflix again. my browsing speeds have also slightly increased.

Painless installation Process

I'm bit of a newbie when it comes to VPNs so I was worried the installation process would be really hard. Luckily, it only took a few minutes. Their iOS app has a great layout and is super easy to use. Think I'll stick with this one for a while.

Customer service team were quick to respond

I originally got this app to watch Netflix. So when I downloaded the app and realized Netflix still wasn't working, I was pretty upset. Luckily, their live chat service showed me which servers worked, and now I can watch without having to worry about constantly getting interrupted. Nice service.

Price is a bit high but totally worth it

I care about my privacy. That's why I decided to pony up and use ExpressVPN. Unlike other VPN apps, ExpressVPN's Network uses 256 bit encryption. Their server are fast and they never keeps logs. That's good enough for me.

Shout out to Jerome!

Installation was easy but for some reason I couldn't get this app to work on my Android. After a few minutes taking to Jerome I was able to find the fix and get this app to work. Big props to their live chat. Thanks for your help man.

Good speeds, Great customer service

I started using this service a few months ago and have been really impressed. I tried a few other services before ( IPVanish and PIA ), but none worked as well as ExpressVPN. These guys are really doing a bang up job. I currently have this app installed on my iPhone and Windows laptop and it works great with both.

The support team were quick to answer but they couldn't help

HI I tried it to watch BBC which is GEO blocked. I live in Germany..( I used to use another provider which worked fine but it doesn't work now either) ..so I cancelled my subscription which was no problem...
The fact was that although I had been given a UK IP BBC knew I wasn't actually living there.. I tried several addresses but none of them worked..A pity...

poor speed. Great customer service. Easy to use applications.

Even though pricier than the other providers I have tried. I found expressvpn very easy to setup. Well the app for mac and iPhone worked seemlessly. Openvpn on my router was a bit more technical, but still easy. But I found a significant loss in speed which affected my streaming. My bandwidth thoroughput dropped to 10% of normal. I kid you not! Which made video streaming a no go. Pity though. Their customer service is the best I have used so far. If you have no interest in video streaming then go for it. But for video streaming I would go somewhere else.

Well Worth the Price

Although this isn’t the cheapest option available, I have tried many of the alternatives, and so far Express VPN is the most dependable and reliable service to work for me here in China. The support is amazing, they are so friendly and quick to get back to you, and the Live Chat option is fantastic. I think this service is well worth the money for such a professional service.

I checked it for you

Hello Алексей,
I hope it is fine I'm answering in English, I don't speak Russian. I read your question and it was a really great question so I went on and asked one of the vpns we work with (not expressvpn actually, but all the same) how can that be that they have servers in Russia yet they don't keep logs. This is what they answered:
We are based and operate under Panama's jurisdiction. There are no mandatory data retention laws which allows us not to keep any connection logs of our customers.
That means that all of our servers meets our standards, not the countries, that's why we can have servers in Russia and not keep any logs.

12-Month Plan

6-Month Plan

1-Month Plan

ExpressVPN offers a single service with subscriptions available for 1, 6 and 12 months, the longer the duration the bigger the financial savings. The features included are identical – the only difference is the length of the subscription.

ExpressVPN has a support section in the menu bar. You can choose live chat, contact form, or direct email. But it’s first best to check out their tutorials and troubleshooting section because it’s very extensive and you’ll probably find what you’re looking for.

The Bottom Line

Ran Greenberg

(New-Media and online expert, Venture Capitalist and investor)

It might be pricier than other VPNs, but it’s totally worth it.

ExpressVPN is definitely the top of the VPN market. Besides being known for having the fastest speed, ExpressVPN is incredibly easy-to-use and the service is reliable.

While many VPNs have trouble bypassing VPN blocks (we’re talking about you, Netflix) or accessing blocked content in other countries, ExpressVPN consistently succeeds. What’s more, the support system is unbeatable, and we can’t help but mention the extensive blog on their site. Let’s not forget the 30-day money back guarantee (it works, we tried it).

Many VPNs claim to be the fastest, but trust us when we say ExpressVPN is telling the truth. It’s our top pick for streaming movies and TV shows with their unlimited bandwidth and more than 1,000 servers in over 100 locations.

Besides for having great encryption and security, ExpressVPN does not log any traffic data or DNS queries, allows P2P on all of their servers (a rarity among VPNs), has a wide range of security protocols (including OpenVPN), and includes a kill-switch feature (which you can opt-out of, though we don’t recommend it).

It doesn’t matter if you prefer Apple tor Microsoft, ExpressVPN has apps for almost every OS out there, including Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, Linux, and Blackberry (albeit only for two models). They even have a router app for your home, which is rare among VPN services. (If you need help installing a VPN on your router, check out our step-by-step guide.)

The new web-browser extension for Chrome and Firefox is pretty cool, too, since you can see your connection as you browse the web.

If you ever need help navigating their site, ExpressVPN has an informative blog with tons of tutorials. However, if you don’t have the patience for all of that, you can hit the support button, which directs you to three options: contact form, live chat, or direct email. We found this to be a truly excellent support system.

The one thing we really love about ExpressVPN is their ability to unlock almost any content. With Netflix’s VPN block, many – if not most – VPN services struggle to access Netflix’s entire library from outside of the US, but ExpressVPN doesn’t. They also successfully access blocked websites in China – like Whatsapp, Youtube, and Gmail – even though there’s a ban on VPNs.

But let’s go back to the speed. They are significantly faster than other VPNs and are proud of it. They even have a “VPN Speed Test” so users can see their VPN speed and the speeds of other servers.

ExpressVPN's speed test - an excellent feature

Although it’s a little pricier than others, ExpressVPN is worth it. Their service is unbeatable, and their 30-day money-back guarantee means that you can try it out with any qualms. (We even tested it out to make sure it was legit.)

ExpressVPN has a special discount only available for vpnMentor readers. Right now, if you purchase the annual package, you’ll get three extra months for FREE. That’s $6.50/month for one of our top-rated VPNs.

(New-Media and online expert, Venture Capitalist and investor)

Users looking to download torrents and watch live video streaming will love ExpressVPN, which offers blazing speed and protects your device at all times, giving you a stress-free experience with unlimited bandwidth. And of particular concern for Torrent users, Express does not keep any logs, so you do not have to worry about them having any of your information. Either way, Express is based in the British Virgin Islands, so they are not subject to any data retention laws anyhow, so users REALLY can feel protected.

They claim to be the fastest VPN around, and while I am normally cynical about such claims, I honestly can say this was the fastest VPN I have tried. Their special feature, “VPN Speed Test,” lets users check how fast their VPN server is working so that they can chop and change the location that is fastest for them.

They also have a plethora of servers - 1000+ in 145 locations across 94 countries, not that we're counting - and that’s nothing to scoff at. To boot, included with the price of their VPN service is SmartDNS, which gives you access to their MediaStreamer. This enables you to watch Netflix on virtually any platform that you may have so that you aren’t limited to watching your favorite Netflix documentary series on your computer.

We also have to appreciate the number of native apps available, which includes the usual suspects: Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, iPhone, iPad, as well as Linux. They even have an app for Blackberry (albeit only for two models), as well as a router app so that you can protect your entire home with one subscription, something only a few VPN providers have. ExpressVPN also just launched a new Chrome and Firefox extension, so you can see your connection while you browse the web. This makes using their VPN even more convenient since you can set it to automatically open up to the last server you used. Express also has a wide range of protocols available, depending on your privacy vs. speed requirements.

ExpressVPN's speed test - an excellent feature

The whole thing is fairly easy to navigate. ExpressVPN is a little more grown up looking than others, and it does take users through the step-by-step rationale of why VPN’s exist and how they can help us.

Their website has a blog, which can be helpful in demystifying some of those techy traps. However, if you haven’t the patience for all that, you can hit the support button, which directs you to three options for getting in touch with their crew: contact form, live chat, or direct email. I found this to be a truly excellent support system.

ExpressVPN's ultra-informative site

ExpressVPN is serious about anonymity, so doesn’t log any sort of traffic data or DNS queries. Their basic subscription offer allows the setup of three devices of any type. And they allow P2P on all of their servers, somewhat of a rarity.
